Hi Group, I'm trying to determine why my battery is too drained to start the car after 5 to 6 days of sitting. By inserting a digital multimeter in-line with my battery, I determined that my Lockzilla draws about .01 A while sitting (drops to zero when Lockzilla is disconnected). In addition, I have a stereo system with an amplifier. The amplifier, when isolated, seems to be drawing about .03 - .04 A with the key out of the ignition. The draw is constant even when I remove the remote and speaker leads from it. The amp is not on as per the LED's on it, but it is definitely pulling some power. When I disconnect this amp and the Lockzilla, my DMM fluctuates between 0.00 and 0.01A (I can't find that last half-amp by pulling fuses, maybe the meter is a little off) and when both are plugged back in it reads about 0.05 A. Is this enough juice to drain a battery in less than a week? I have not put a meter on the battery to read the voltage after it sits for a week so I don't know how low it's getting, but certainly low enough to not turn over. I know it's not exactly DeLorean related, but the amp is a JL Audio 250/1 monoblock amp for a subwoofer. The instructions don't give a resting draw, so I'm wondering if that is typical? Seems a little high, so aside from an internal problem with the amp, what else could go wrong with it?
